Sean39 Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I need a reliable rarity guide for Atari 8 Bit, can anyone help? also i need one for Commodore 64. Thanks in advance. hi it would be cool to see a Rarity Guide on the 8 bit computers,but I have never seen one yet. I would Say the Rare Atari's would be your 400 and 800 with Very low Serial numbers. The Chips inside would also be dated 1979. They would have a 4K memory in the Atari 400 and in the Atari 800 would have the 8 K memory. Also the Graphics color card would be the First one that would only produce 8 colors. Later on they change it over to a card that produced 256 colors. There are some really rare Atari's systems and you can find more about them at www.atari.com It an Atari museum.. Anyways a book never seen one.

edintv Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 Shows that Pogoman in disk is R9 and Blue Max (Synapse) in cassette is R7. I have to double check, since I get burned with an R7 2600 game, the rating was out of date and the game is selling in 10$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and if you have a working Atari Holoptics device, i give you 500$, thats what i can spend. I would say 10.000$, but i dont have that amount of money.

+Psionic Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Shows that Pogoman in disk is R9 and Blue Max (Synapse) in cassette is R7. I have to double check, since I get burned with an R7 2600 game, the rating was out of date and the game is selling in 10$ Some of those rarity numbers may be slightly "out of date" (mostly due to recent finds coming out of Venezuela), but that's not always the case. Unlike Atari 2600 and most other console games, with the Atari 800 (and Commodore 64), "rare" does not always translate to expensive. With the computer systems there are tons of games (most on disk or tape) that received very limited releases but are not particularly expensive because they were never well known and thus aren't in high demand today. The people who collect this stuff are not completists like many other collectors, so many of the really rare games simply don't attract any attention. So basically, just because something is selling for little money always doesn't mean it isn't rare. Although there are certainly exceptions, disk and tape releases, regardless of how popular they are, usually don't sell for a whole lot. The money is usually thrown at the rare cartridges from well-known publishers (Matterhorn and Espial by Tigervision, Super Zaxxon by Sega, Bounty Bob Strikes Back by Big Five Software, etc). Those are usually the games that pop up again and again on collectors' want lists. You simply don't see much demand for Pogoman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Psionic Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I need a reliable rarity guide for Atari 8 Bit, can anyone help? also i need one for Commodore 64. Thanks in advance. I got this list for A8 carts. The formatting got messed up somewhere The list is in a zipped attachment below. Dude, seriously...the key word here is reliable. That list is from 1997. There's numerous games listed on there as "rare" that in fact weren't even released. The Atarimania site (already mentioned above) is about the most reliable guide you're going to get.

Yes, so much stuff happen since 1997, Atarimania seems a good choice, but is still not enough to get an stimation of a price, the ideal rarity guide gathers information from Auction sites, I saw some list like that for the Intellivision, but was not updated anymore. and the info from back then wasn´t real.

UNIXcoffee928 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Shows that Pogoman in disk is R9 and Blue Max (Synapse) in cassette is R7. I have to double check, since I get burned with an R7 2600 game, the rating was out of date and the game is selling in 10$ Rare Atari hardware: Atari Holoptics/Cosmos system http://www.atarimuse...mos/cosmos.html very rare, only 3 working on earth. not for sale. software: Gladiator for Atari on disk (rare) and some others, i might edit this message, i am now drinking tea. Oh, and if you have a working Atari Holoptics device, i give you 500$, thats what i can spend. I would say 10.000$, but i dont have that amount of money. Ya know... THAT was the Atari Era that I liked the best... When they were truly R&D Innovators! There was some very serious high-end research going on at Atari, at one time. The Atari Holoptics Lab is an interesting example of one of the research departments that made Atari so far ahead of it's time. A lot of people are unaware of it, but Atari, at that time, was right up there with Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC). Many of the people in the advanced R&D at Atari had migrated from Douglas Englebart's Augmentation Research Center (ARC) lab at SRI, taking that culture & innovation with them. There is a direct link to the individuals at SRI, who migrated to Atari R&D & PARC, and flitted between the two labs, after leaving ARC. There was most definitely a reason why Atari was presented, as it was, in the movie, "Blade Runner". At that time, many of the best & the brightest minds were closely tied to Atari's R&D labs. In the first years of the 80s, at Atari, there was no reason to believe that they could ever fail. Here is the most mind blowing stuff from ARC (note the date...): Mother of All Demos People interested in this aspect of Atari's history should check out the books, "What the Dormouse Said", and "Dealers of Lightening", to trace the lineage of the the thought & culture that comprised Atari's R&D labs. When I have some more time, I will start a topic specifically on Atari R&D, since it is a less well defined aspect of Atari's history. Perhaps, then, some users here will be able to share their memories of the Atari R&D scene, and add to the body of knowledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bojay1997 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Not to be overly critical, but I don't really see the point of all these rarity request posts you've been doing lately. You're using Ebay and people are obviously aware of your auctions, so let the market decide what stuff is worth. Honestly, what people bid on your stuff is going to be significantly lower than what an American seller might get simply because it costs more to ship and some people just won't buy from newer sellers or from South America. You also have the problem that not everything you sell is mint collector's shape, so that impacts prices as well. It seems like it would make sense for you to make an arrangement with a US seller or dealer and just ship a bunch of stuff to them for sale and redistribution. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, My request for rarity is that I could be a better seller, to get prices that people would like, but in the same time that i don´t lose money in the process. Many of the Customers are already Us sellers, they list on ebay at least 2-3 times what they are paying, I talked to several, and they are expecting 1$ a piece, so they can get a 1000% profit. Is worst for the collector comunity that the Venezuelan sellers stop selling directly, the prices will go higer. About the condition, I try to post pictures as good as I can so the customer can see the quality of the item and decide if is worth it, that my key point with my competition. I can´t choose the quality of the items I´m getting, and many of the games came from Musicland clearences, so they had original store wear of a sale Item on a bin. I thin that a collector´s item can get a home, no matter the condition, some people don´t care about boxes, just need the media, for me is a crime to throw away a geme because is in unmint condition, most of my collection is like that and I appreciated as well as the sealed mint ones.

Is worst for the collector comunity that the Venezuelan sellers stop selling directly, the prices will go higer. The main problem you have is the fact you are in Venezuela and shipping charges are quite high, especially when you take into account the lengthy delivery times usually quoted which also (I might add) tend to be optimistic. It would be quicker for someone to row across the Atlantic than to wait for something to arrive from Venezuela. This is a problem as when people pay through ebay etc they only get a limited time to take action if their orders don't arrive - the time period is much shorter than the delivery times from Venezuela and people have to balance risk when ordering something and waiting months for it to (hopefully) arrive and running out of time to claim via ebay/paypal or buying something from a seller in the US or Europe who is able to ship quickly and who's postal service doesn't involve un hombre remando en marcha atras con su barquito. Un Saludo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Un Saludo. Yes, lately the mail is so much slower than usual, due to several reasons, from climate to boureocratic decisions. I don´t think that is expensive, many Us sellers charge locally what we cahrge, and I get a quote from a seller to ship directly to my countri and was 42$ for 6 loose carts, we charge 30 for an Atari 800xl very well packed, about 14-15 pounds weigth. Is a slow service for sure, but that the reason people call us "the 3rd world". The others mail options are Fedex, Dhl, many times the value already charging.

svenski Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 (edited) If I was to compare say the price of an 800XL shipped via the usual quickest EMS method it is comparable to say getting something similar in weight from the US via USPS - which would arrive in a fraction of the time. So you balance the price for the items purchased from Venezuela against the risk of never receiving them. That is the problem. Obviously the market sets the prices to a large degree but if you set your starting prices too high then the risk will outweigh the possible benefit - i.e. the items actually arriving and within a reasonable time. Obviously shipping times have been made worse by recent events and Ipostal probably doesn't help matters and non of that is your fault. If you ever come to the UK then bring a ton of Atari stuff with you to sell As this issue was highlighted by Atari User readers, we've posted some advice for people ordering from Venezuela through ebay/Paypal.

If you ever come to the UK then bring a ton of Atari stuff with you to sell I never heard about a lost package, there´s heavy delays, and even one time a customer told t me that the package from a venezuelan seller took 5 months to arrive! was held in customs a long time, i don´t know the reason. But the most probably is that if in my contry was different, a Video Game dealer wouldn´t had keep all his left over merchandise all this years..

edintv Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 How did all the Musicland items end up there if I may ask? I don´t know for sure, bust most of the computer games had several tags from musicland, Is funny to see prices go from 49.99 to 9.99, at a 10$ less each tag. I think that a game dealer who distributed to musicland (and get all the games returned) go bankrupt or a liquidation, and the Warehouse owner in Venezuela bougth the lot dirt cheap. most of the games didn´t came in their original crates, as opposite that The Avalon hill games, Atari and Intellivision, who were bougth directly at their companies.. That´s way many computer games from diverse manufacturers had surfaced recently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
